Helpful booklet for those who garden in Wisconsin (sandy soils) and other northern climates (i.e. coast of Maine). The plant lists do not apply to Florida, Texas or the southwest.
A small, brief pamphlet that outlines a bit of information, but sorely lacking in specific detail or suggestions, like a list of plants that would do well in a sandy garden. Even at it's low cost, it wasn't worth the price.
These little booklets are a great resource for me as a landscape designer to learn about different kinds of soil conditions and plant selections. I also give them to clients as a resource to help them maintain their landscape.
